Open Transport means that your vehicle is driven onto the deck of a ship and then parked and strapped down for transport. It will be exposed to the outside the entire trip. This is the most common means of importing a vehicle as well as the most affordable. Once you arrive at the port with the vehicle, customs will then inspect it before allowing it to board the ship. Once loaded, your vehicle will be imported as quickly as possible.

Enclosed Transport means that your vehicle is securely placed inside a carrier or container the size of your car. This is the most sensible choice for anyone with an exotic, luxury, or classic vehicle as it keeps the vehicle from being exposed to the weather elements during transport. Just like the procedure for the open transport, the vehicle will be inspected before it is loaded to ensure the safety of the shipping service.
